WASHINGLQN, 15-.0,„..h7TA) —
Seven hundrecrinembers --68 ,.the
Bnai Brith Women were emotional-
ly overwhelmed by a perforthance
by a racially and religiously mixed
choir of heroin-addicted youngsters
from Odyssey House, the New York
drug-treatment center. The per-
formance closed the organization's
four-day triennia l international
convention.
The women wept openly when a
black youngster sang the solo part
of the closing number, the thenle
from "Exodus" and gave a stand-
ing ovation to the choir of 18 boys
and girls age 13-17, who were mak-
ing their first public appearance
as a singing group.
The choir director, Martin Suss-
man, is a former Odyssey House
patient. Mrs. Judianne Densen-
Gerber, founder and executive di-
rector of the clinic, was one of six
women honored by BBW.
The others were Mrs. Joan Ganz
Cooney, producer of television's
"Sesame Street;" Katherine Gra-
ham, president of the Washington
Post; Elizabeth Duncan Koontz,
the first Negro director of the
Labor Department's women's bu-
reau; Judge Lenore Underwood
Mills, 82-year-old retired jurist,
who was the first national president
of the BBW; and Sally Priesand,
the 24-year-old prospective woman
rabbi studying at Hebrew Union
College.
Mrs. Nathan Holstein of Pitts-
burgh w a s in-
stalled as the
BBW's 16th inter-
national presi-
dent, succeeding
Mrs. Michael
Shapiro of Wash-
ington.
Dr. William
Korey, director
of the United Na-
tions bureau of
Mrs. Holstein Bnai Brith, told
the delegates that Soviet Jews had
sent 294 emigration-aid petitions to
date to the UN and various na-
tional governments. The signers,
he said, were mostly employed in
the sciences and the humanities
and were mostly from Riga, Mos-
cow, Tbilisi and Kutisi, the latter
two cities in the Georgian SSIL
"The petitions," Dr. Korey said,
"reflect the burgeoning pride of
these young Jews. They I mention
Jewish heroes—the Maccabees and
those of the Warsaw Ghetto—and
the unity of the Jewish people and
the love of Israel. In the American
idiom, the petitions would read
'Jewish is beautiful.' "
